What is why-is-fortnite-not-working ?
I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with Fortnite. There could be several reasons why Fortnite is not working. Here are some common issues and their solutions:
**Verify your game files**: Verifying the integrity of your game files will check the files on your computer to ensure they are not damaged or corrupted. If some files are different, they'll be changed or repaired. Your saved data will not be affected. To verify game files on the Epic Game Launcher:
* - Open the Epic Games Launcher.
* - Find the game in your Epic Games Library.
* - Click the three dots on the right side of the game line.
* - Select Manage.
* - Click the Verify button.
* - Wait for validation to complete. It may take a while to verify all your files.
**Update your video card drivers**: Video driver updates are released regularly by manufacturers to fix bugs and improve performance. We highly recommend that you install the latest driver for your video card to have the best player experience in Fortnite. You can find the latest drivers by going to your video card manufacturer's website using these links:
- [Nvidia](https://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us)
- [AMD](https://www.amd.com/en/support)
- [Intel](https://downloadcenter.intel.com/)
. **Disable background applications**: Sometimes background applications cause issues or reduce performance when you try to play Fortnite. Follow the steps in [this article](https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/fortnite-c75/technical-support-c118/how-to-fix-fortnite-crash-and-technical-issues-a3893) to make sure any background applications are disabled.
. **Repair Visual C++ Redistributables**: The Visual C++ Redistributables are required to be able to run Fortnite. Make sure these are installed and/or repaired. Download all the Visual C++ Redistributables [here](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/the-latest-supported-visual-c-downloads-2647da03-1eea-4433-9aff-95f26a218cc0). Make sure to download both the x64 and x86 versions. Once the download completes, run the executable files and choose Repair. Note: If there is no Repair option, proceed with the normal installation using the on-screen instructions. Once the repair completes, restart your computer. Relaunch Fortnite.
. **Adjust compatibility mode**: Adjusting the compatibility mode for Fortnite may resolve your issue. Navigate to your Fortnite binaries directory (Default: C:\\Program Files\\Epic Games\\Fortnite\\FortniteGame\\Binaries\\Win64\\) and right-click on FortniteClient-Win64-Shipping.exe. Select Properties and then click on the Compatibility tab. Check the box next to "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and select Windows 7 from the drop-down menu. Click Apply and then OK. Launch Fortnite.
